The Greatest Switch Hitters in MLB History

[@Bill-en7kw]

Cant argue with your five. Ramirez from cleveland is rising though.

[@BBUYTTV]

Good point. A few more years and he may be on the list. Thank you for your comment!

[@roopan1968]

Bernie Williams

[@BBUYTTV]

That’s a good suggestion but I still don’t think he makes the cut for the top 5. Thanks for the comment?

[@danielwallsten332]

Nice vid

[@BBUYTTV]

Thanks!

[@jbj7599]

Have enjoyed your videos, only critique is youll say striking instead of strikeout or something small like that. Keep it up the subs will come

Hated alomar but I saw his whole career. He was extremely good.

[@BBUYTTV]

He was a tough guy to like at times but definitely a great player. Thank you for your comment.

[@terrenceliburd8655]

And he was fast but never looked like was running fast, it seems that his swing was free and easy smooth but he could hit it over the fence. He made difficult plays on the field looked so easy. I was baffled by him

Gary Templeton is someone who I knew from the time he and his family moved to Santa Ana, CA. He's the only player in major league history with one hundred hits from both sides of the plate. No one in the history of major league baseball ever to do that.

[@BBUYTTV]

That is an interesting stat. I didn’t realize he was the only player to do that. Loved watching Gary play for the Padres. Thank you for sharing!

[@Binkybink]

That is an interesting stat but are you sure. Just feels like a guy who switch hits long enough would get at least 350-400 at bats against lefties and could definitely get to 100 hits

[@Binkybink]

Unless you mean in one season

[@jasonjenkins8910]

Isn't Roberto Alomar banned from baseball

[@eiland369]

Why not Murray? 500+hrs and 3k hits while Mantle has 500+ but didn’t break the 3k hits margin.

[@BBUYTTV]

You make a great point. My thinking is that Mantle was considered the best or most dominant player for periods of time during his career while I don’t think that was necessarily the case with Murray. Additionally, injuries limited some of Mantle’s accumulation of statistics to a certain extent.

[@chrisverby3047]

Because in addition to hitting 30 more career home runs, mantle batted 11 points higher, his slugging avg. was 51 points higher and his on base percentage was 62 points higher. Mantle won four HR titles, 1 batting title, 1 rbi title and led the league six times in runs scored. Mantle is the best switch hitter who ever played.

[@mikeyadase4391]

Chipper at 4? No way. Number 1 .300+ on both sides. No switch hitter did that. Plus over 400 HR. And let’s be real. His competition was way harder then mantles

[@BBUYTTV]

Maybe the competition was better though that isn’t a sure thing. Mantle played before expansion and he arguably had to face tougher pitching as the pitching staffs weren’t diluted by expansion. Mantle also had a much higher ceiling with the achievements he had in single seasons. God knows what his stats would have looked like if he wasn’t a drunk and constantly injured. Thank you for the comment.

[@mikeyadase4391]

@@BBUYTTV dude back when mantle played pitchers were throwing complete games. No one through over 90. Mantle didn’t face bullpen guys coming out throwing 100. Cmon now. Mantle in his time was amazing. But chipper is just better. .300+ both sides. Mantle had a .50 average split. So how is he a better switch hitter

[@BBUYTTV]

@@mikeyadase4391 using WAR as probably the best comparison tool between eras Chipper is way down the list at 51st all time while Mantle is at 21st seems to me that translates to a higher value

Good call! Thank you for the comment!

[@chrisverby3047]
